I want to periodically capture an image from a webcam attached to a Windows PC, and upload it to a Linux server on the network (preferably FTP, could be SFTP or even Samba).

The images have to be very small; less than 50K.

Any help / ideas?

Thanks

I've found a program called webcamimagesave, which seems to do the trick.

Here's the URL: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/web_cam_image_capture.html

That seems to just be a movement detector. I want something that will take a picture every X seconds, and save it somewhere. – Fela Maslen Aug 4 '12 at 18:41
